This Iris has been in the garden for a few years now, at least 3 years, but I'm thinking longer. It had never bloomed until this year, and now that I've finally gotten to see a bloom, I love it! I have no idea what it is, but I believe it is a Siberian, although the leaves are wider than the other Sibs I have.

@PollyK , it may be one that you sent me- hoping you'll recognize it.

Also wondering what I should do to get more blooms? I did amend the soil with manure last year, and have been better about fertilizing the Sibs and JIs, so I'm guessing that's what prompted these first blooms.
